Emily Kaplan of ESPN decided to examine Alex Ovechkin's iconic "Gatorade" water bottle. She finally found out what the drink was. She says it's Pepsi. He drank Pepsi during the game and Dr. Pepper at intermissions, she said.

"There were rumors that he was drinking Coca-Cola, but that's not exactly it. In fact, he drinks Pepsi during periods. And during intermissions, he likes Dr. Pepper."

-Emily Kaplan

Crazy how the best scorer in the world drinks Pepsi every single game.
